Well I don’t know about “invention”, but I certainly had to change my meal plan when I discovered that the unmarked ‘casserole’ that I’d defrosted, was little more than a forgotten mix of left-over rice and stir-fry! The addition of extra veggies, Quorn and generous spoonful of Sharon123’s Lemon..."
